Shang Ruyi's lips moved slightly, hesitating several times, but ultimately did not utter those words that had lingered in her heart for several days.
After all, she was not only Yu Wenye's wife but also the daughter-in-law of Duke Sheng.
She could harbor unbearable suspicions in her heart, and she could tell Yu Wenye everything she had discovered, but she could not speak those words plainly. After all, they hailed from noble families and understood the necessity of discretion in words and actions. Her recent remarks had already been very risky; taking another step forward might lead to the suspicion of sowing discord between brothers.
Seeing her hesitant to speak, Yu Wenye's eyes deepened as well.
He said solemnly: "You don't need to say it, I understand."
Shang Ruyi felt relieved in her heart and looked at him, only to see Yu Wenye glance at the two incense bags in her hand, then silently drank the bowl of bitter medicinal decoction that had cooled somewhat.
